The candidates for Coach Hugh Andrews' next year's squad show ed plenty of class in the first two quarters and as a result led 9-8 and 21-19. respectively. Iluwrver. the six seniors started wearing down their less experienced opponents and forged away ,to a comfortable margin. The Yellow Jacket mentor gave ench of ( th nore promising underclassmen an opportunity to show his wares in an effort to learn an inkling of what next year’s combination would be. The youngsters gave a surprising performance, considering their inexperience. Rob Stapleton led the attack with 12 points, while Andrews scored eight and played a fine floor game. Zerkel. Gaunt and Stapleton paced the winning seniors with 14. 12 and 11 markers. respectively.
